Plastics Sectional Committee, PCD 12

FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Second Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft

finalized by the Plastics Sectional Committee had been approved by the Petroleum, Coal and Related

Products Division Council.

Packaging of foodstuffs is a universally accepted method for avoiding contamination, maintenance of

hygienic conditions, conservation and also for ease of transport, handling and sale of foodstuffs. Usage of

plastics for food packaging is increasing both in quantum as well as in variety. A number of plastics raw

materials are available in various forms such as sheets, sachets, containers of various, shapes and sizes, both

ordinary as well as co-extruded/composite type. Since there is always a possibility of migration of a part of

the packaging material to the contents of the packed material due to intimate contact, it is essential to that

the formulation of the package should be selected with care to ensure that any such migration is at a

minimum and substances which do migrate from the package to the packed material are within limits and

cause no toxic hazards when consumed.

Realizing the versatility of plastic packaging which has prompted its wide usage in food packaging in the

country, this standard was first published in 1982 and subsequently revised in 1987. In this revision

Table 1 has been thoroughly revised to incorporate the following modifications:

a) Type of food products have been classified into seven categories instead of eight based on

IS 9845:1998 Determination of overall migration of constituents of plastics materials and articles

intended to come in contact with foodstuffs - Method of analysis

second revision);

b) Additional thermoplastics like, linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), polyethylene terephthalate

(PET), modified polyphenylene oxide (modified PPO) and polycarbonate (PC) have been incorporated

as these polymers have also been identified for its safe use in contact with food, pharmaceuticals and

drinking water;

c) Additional food products have been included under the various categories; and

d) Suitability of plastics have been incorporated for the packing of alcohol.

Common plastics raw materials generally used for food packaging are

linear low density polyethylene

(LLDPE), low density polyethylene (LDPE), high density polyethylene (HDPE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC),

polystyrene (PS), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyvinylidene chloride (PVdC),

nylon 6, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), modified polyphenylene oxide (modified PPO), polycarbonate

(PC), ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), nitrocellulose (NC), biaxially oriented po ypropylene (BOPP), acrylonitrile-

butadiene-styrene (ABS), paraffin wax (PW), high impact polystyrene (HIPS), ethylene acrylic acid (EAA)

ionomer resins, acrylic, vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate (VCVA), cellulose acetate (CA) and cellophane.

All plastics mentioned in this standard shall conform to the relevant Indian Standards for food contact

plastics. For those food contact plastics for which no Indian Standards have been prepared so far, they shall

also comply with the Indian standard specification as and when formulated.

This standard, however, does not take any responsibility regarding-the suitability of the bonding material or

printing ink used for food packaging applications.

The recycled/reprocessed plastics material shall not be used in the manufacture of end products which come

in contact with foodstuffs, pharmaceutical and drinking water.

This standard is intended to be used with the series of standards given in Annex A on food contact plastics

of which it forms~a part.

GUIDE ON SUITABILITY OF PLASTICS FOR

FOOD PACKAGING

Second Revision)

1 SCOPE

-1.1 This standard covers primarily various

thermoplastics singly or in combination which are

considered suitable for food contact applications.

This standard provides a general guidance to the

food packer in selecting the specific thermoplastic

material, singly or in combination, to design an

acceptable food packaging system.

1.2 This standard, however, does not purport to

provide guidance on the actual design of the food

packaging system or cover the shelf life requirements

for various food products. With regard to storage of

particular food products, it shall be the responsibility

of the manufacturer/packer of the food product to

conduct necessary shelf life/keeping property test so

as to determine the correct choice of the thermoplastic

system. This standard also does not obviate the end

for knowledge on the compatibility aspect or shelf

life parameters which in any case require to be

,established. Some products need pasteurization,

sterilization and controlled storage; such details are

not covered under the scope of this standard.

2 NORMATIVE REFERENCES

Review of Indian Standards

Amendments are issued to standards as the need arises on the basis of comments. Standards are also

reviewed periodically; a standard along with amendments is reaffirmed when such review indicates that

no changes are needed; if the review indicates that changes are needed, it is taken up for revision. Users
